The Noisettes singer Shingai Shoniwa has revealed the band are working with Ne-Yo on their new album.
The frontwoman has been writing songs with the star, who has previously teamed up with the likes of Michael Jackson and Rihanna.
"I’ve been writing with a lot of new people," Shoniwa told the Daily Star.
"Ne-Yo is one of them. He’s a lovely guy. We are really exploring new directions for the band to go in, but we’ll always remain a trio."
The Noisettes follow-up to 2009's 'Wild Young Hearts' is expected next year.
